Lawrence O’Donnell Wants to Know if This Congressman Is Sleeping in His Office as a ‘Tax Criminal’
You can just see the perverse enjoyment on Larry’s face as he badgers Utah’s Jason Chaffetz.
I especially enjoyed:
• “Have you sought an advisory opinion from the IRS yada yada yada”
• “Will you seek to do it? TOMORROW!”
• “DOES YOUR WIFE HAVE ANY INCOME?”
• “As far you know, the rest of them are criminals too.”

Some favorite moments:
• “I use that term specifically, ‘caved in.'” – Because that’s what Dems do, baby!
• Circa :54 – any use of the term ‘pernicious’ is welcome in our book; Some bald guy is shaking his head incessantly; Arianna Huffington looks like an amused heiress (which is what she always looks like).
• At 2:27 – Larry officially starts flipping out.
• “You are WRONG, sir.” – Grayson is already fanning the heat with his hands at this point.
• “When you’re out of office in January and watching this from the sidelines.” – Too soon!
• At 3:25 there’s an audible sigh by Grayson that gives us the impression he can’t keep from laughing.
• “BE AN ADULT ABOUT THIS CONGRESSMAN!”
